Churchill Downs has launched Gallop for Good: From Race to Retirement (“Gallop for Good”), a national online giving campaign supporting Thoroughbred aftercare nonprofits, centered around a one-day giving event on Churchill's Stephen Foster Day, June 27.
Gallop for Good supports Thoroughbred aftercare, which includes programs and services that help retired racehorses transition into second careers, adoption, rehabilitation, sanctuary and lifelong care after racing. Hosted by CDI, the campaign will operate through a centralized online platform, giving participating organizations the opportunity to raise critical funds, expand their reach and engage new supporters.

Supporters may also purchase dining and reserved seating tickets for Stephen Foster Day with $5 from every ticket directly benefiting the organizations participating in Gallop for Good through the Churchill Downs Foundation.
Eligible tickets may be purchased at https://www.gofevo.com/group/GallopforGood.
“Thoroughbred aftercare reflects our industry's ongoing commitment to the welfare of horses during and after their racing careers,” said Claire Simms, Sr. Director of Corporate Social Responsibility. “Through Gallop for Good, we are proud to help amplify the work of aftercare organizations across the country and provide an easy way for donors and industry partners to support safe, dignified futures for retired racehorses.”
Participating organizations will receive access to promotional resources, campaign tools and support to help maximize their fundraising efforts. Eligible organizations include any 501(c)3 nonprofit in good standing with the IRS that provides services to Thoroughbred racehorses. The campaign is designed to be inclusive and welcomes participation from organizations across the aftercare community.
